Have you noticed? We're a month into 2025 and the daylight hours in the region are lengthening. Our planet circles the sun in a comforting rhythm. The weather, however, has been a bit disconcerting with sub-zero temperatures followed by uncharacteristic warmth.
Winds are also blowing ... both actual wind and political winds. Perhaps, more than average, it is important for people such as you ... people who care about outdoor spaces, natural areas and exceptional waters like Lake Superior ... to step into the advocacy arena. Please join me and other Friends of the Lake Superior Reserve (FOLSR) by communicating your support for the National Estuarine Research Reserve system. Write, call or visit your elected officials. If you need fodder for your letter or conversation, the articles below contain useful nuggets. Beyond that, know that FOLSR continues to weave the fabric of our community together through events, volunteer opportunities and collaborations, and though the winds may blow, we will continue to support the success of the Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve.
Your Friend,
Sharon, FOLSR Board Chair
